I don't have a completed painting, but I must post my assignment for the blog improvement class I'm taking, "Maintaining A Healthy Artist Blog" taught by Alyson Stanfield and Cynthia Morris, so here's a work in progress.
The first assignment is to describe on our blog posts what type of blog visitors we would like to attract. (I think a lot of our homework will be posted on our blogs.)
My blog readers are a delightful cross-section of art lovers - artists, collectors, gallery owners, dancers, art students and many others. I love having them all visit and comment on my blog or send comments to me via email. I hope to revitalize my blog and keep them interested in stopping by Hackberry Street Studio .
The blog goals I'm pursuing are those of increasing the number of my viewers, as well as making my blog a more interesting one.
This drawing, which I will complete early next week, is oil pastel on Colourfix paper, 12 x 9". Maybe I'll post it when it's finished. This young girl wanted to wear her cap, but I felt it shaded her face too much, so I had her turn it a little. I don't know if this will work. At this stage, though, things can be changed.
Thanks so much for visiting my blog!

This is my first visit to your blog and first glimpse of your work. I love the fresh, intimate, spontaneity of your figures. And I like this unfinished girl. Thanks for sharing her.
Thanks so much, Leslie, - I hope you'll drop by again!
This is just beautiful.
Hi Connie: I have only very recently discovered your blog and I am really enjoying it, especially the oil pastel works. I love the girl in the cap. I love your loose way of working with the pastel, something I am struggling with in my own work. I find oil pastel information and artists to be less represented online, (altho' there seems to be lots on soft pastels) so your blog is a treat. I am an amateur, learning as I go. I will be dropping by often! Thanks so much. Peggy
You can increase your readership by one if you send me some Tootsie Rolls.
I like your painting even if you don't give me chocolate.
You tease! I am all ready wondering where you are going to go to next with this pastel. Hope to see it in completion. :-)
Thank you, Elizabeth - I appreciate your nice comment!
Hi Peggy - it's so nice to hear from a fellow oil pastelist. It's a wonderful medium and very versatile! Have you visited the Oil Pastel Society? -http://www.oilpastelsociety.com -
Thanks so much - I hope you will visit again soon!
Hi Bill - Chocolate? I keep it all for myself. Yum! Thanks for stopping by!
Hi Kim - I will definitely post the finished oil pastel - it has to be finished by Mother's Day. Thanks so much for visiting my blog - hope you drop by again.
